Crisis of Belief: Dreams FC's winless nightmare deepens after Karela defeat

Dreams FC's winless start to the Ghana Premier League season stretched to six games after a 1-0 defeat at Karela United on Matchweek 6.

Winfred Dormon's side have now picked up just two points from a possible 18, leaving the Still Believe lads in the relegation zone.

It is a continuation of a frustrating pattern. A week before the trip to the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, Dreams had produced their most disciplined display of the season to hold Hearts of Oak 0-0 at the University of Ghana Stadium.

Dormon felt his side deserved more from that night in Legon, saying: "The performance was decent, but the result wasn't good enough for us."

That search for a good enough result goes on. Against Karela, the defensive compactness that frustrated Hearts was not enough to earn a point.

Dreams have now failed to win since Matchday 1. They opened with a 3-1 loss at Berekum Chelsea on 13 September, followed by a 3-2 home defeat to Gold Stars. A 2-2 draw with champions Medeama on 23 September brought their first point, but they were beaten 1-0 at Bechem United four days later.


The draw with Hearts made it two points from five, but Saturday's loss means four defeats in six - six goals scored, nine conceded.

For a side regarded as one of the league's most progressive last season, it is a worrying start.

Dreams will attempt to end the drought on 18 October when they travel to Port City.
